I have AE 22. When i play the preview/playback in a composition that isn’t 15 fps, the program starts lagging and slowing down. It happens both if i add media and if i don’t, does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it? I wanna use 18 fps or more but even then it gives me problems and doesn’t load as it should
The thing you’re experiencing is how After Effects works. A video editor uses the original files to playback the timeline, but After Effects is a compositor. It rebuilds each frame in its RAM. As a result of the RAM being used to create frames and play them back and possibly other programs, the playback can be laggy.
I made a video a while back talking through some of the workarounds you can do:
